#129: Do Not Attack Any Stars of High School Musical 3

I know that none of my readers are that middle-aged guy who attacked Zac Efron, star of High School Musical 3 (and also, reportedly, 1 and 2). I’m sure that you would never do anything like that, no matter how badly you might want to.

All of you know that beating up rich, famous young people is wrong, no matter how annoying they may be. Yes, even when they totally deserve it, even when they out and out provoke you, like Kenley has been doing every freaking Wednesday night on Project Runway for how many weeks now? I mean, that voice! Those hair baubles! That whine! Could you just strangle her, or what?

Whew. Calm down, Pam. Deep breathing. She doesn’t deserve to die, just because she feels so totally sorry for herself even though she’s young and thin and pretty and is going to Bryant Park instead of much more talented and deserving contestants such as Jerrell. But if she wins next week, I may not be able to keep myself from lunging at the screen.

In case you’re yearning for a masochistic fix, check out Kenley’s audition video.

Yes, she is quite the annoying chipmunk, but so sue me: I think she’s the most talented one on the show. Maybe it’s just ’cause I also love classic designs and styles, clothes that could have been worn by models in the 50s, but I truly like every design she put out there. Most of the stuff she created, I’d wear in a minute. But that’s just me.

I don’t know; I think attacking Zac Efron is fine. I’m a high school freshman, so I’m ‘hip’ or whatever, and I still hate him. He was really ‘cool’ when I was in, like, sixth grade, and since ‘cool’ is now ‘lame’ (no more Hollister for the really ‘cool’ kids, though I think it’s on its way back in), he is the bane of every teenager’s and young adult’s (and older adult’s) existence.

im a college sophomore, and the girls still like zac efron….
Justine Bieber on the other hand…
